About Me

Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, I have been an actor since I was seven years old, and a martial artist since I was nine. I have always had a passion for the arts especially in how they intersect with movement. It was for this reason that I moved to Belgium to study gestural theatre. Beyond this I have studied mythology and literature on the side. I love fantasy, video games, and cooking. I also speak French.

Education

High School Diploma. I studied for one year at Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University in Chicago with a focus on Acting. Currently studying at Ecole LASSAAD

Experience / Qualifications

Been an actor with professional and semi-professional experience familiar with the techniques of Lecoq, Checkhov, Bogart, Overlie, Laban, Linklater, and more.

I started out in Musical Theatre, playing roles such as JD in Heathers and The King in Once Upon a Mattress, in my late teens I got into other styles, playing roles such as Beethoven in Dog Sees God, Dogberry in Much Ado About Nothing, and Orlando in As You Like It.


I have done commercial work and work as a sword fighter to perform in front of the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra


Worked as a teachers assistant at a program in Cincinnati which focuses on training high school aged students in the world of theatre.

I’ve studied Martial Arts since I was nine, including but not limited to Tae Kwon Do, Aikido, Aiki-Jutsu, Iaido, Wrestling, and Systema.

Specialized in mythology in my high school.
Using a range of disciplines from martial arts, to acting techniques, to voice and breath work, we will work together to relieve unnecessary tensions in the body, move effectively, and discover deeper understanding of our vessel. My hope is that you will feel more capable and confidant in your body, no matter what type of body you have. This is not about strength training. It is abut understanding and appreciating the body you have.

Alexandre
Singing and performance classes, music and theater
Graduated in composition and Orchestration and in the art of theater and directing, having a Master in Musical Theater at the Sorbonne University Paris and a doctorate of advanced research in the art of singing and musical interpretation , I propose singing and interpretation lessons, based on the understanding and implementation of the Belt technique (breathing, voice placement, flexibility of diaphragmal pressure, diction) and a practical application of the theatrical method from Stanislavski for a thorough understanding and discovery of the theatrical interpretation of songs. The course consists of two or three parts: 1. A warm-up with various exercises, with the aim of widening the range, developing the breathing and understanding the mechanism of the phonator device. 2. Practical work on a song with eclectic choice. 3. A part of learning music theory and reading of score, if necessary. I work with you, putting a lot of emphasis on discovering or developing your voice at your own pace. I can also propose: 2. Music interpretation course (we work on the game and the construction of a character, the emotion of the song, the nuances) 3. Theater course (Actor's Studio method) - (we work on the body expression, the scenic presence, the connection between thought and action on stage), 4. Course of musical theory and solfege (the bases of the musical theory to be able to read and follow a partition), 5. Preparation course for castings and auditions (work on psychological preparation, stress management, choice of pieces and cutting, etc.). The price quoted is per course

These sessions allow the development of skills and knowledge of the trade, with the game facing the camera, familiarization with the audiovisual environment and the camera tool, in the art of acting. Your inventiveness and your uniqueness being at the center of your training, it is a question of dwelling on the objective criteria, such as the voice, the use of the body, the relationship with the partner, the capacity to occupy the space. But it is also the singularity and the commitment that are decisive. The objective of this training is to be able to: - Analyze and dissect a text - Create, develop and embody a character - Understand the artistic and technical writings of a film or a play - Create, cultivate and develop one's artistic identity and singularity (...) Through simulations and role-playing, the association between theory and practice makes it possible to achieve its objectives. PLACES : - Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option. - As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers available all year round.

Singing lessons: Vocal technique oriented to diferrent styles. (Opera, Jazz, Pop, Rock) Breath managment, body consciousness, placement.
I ́m a profesional Opera Singer, who is also giving lessons in vocal technique since 7 years. This class is for begginers and intermedium level singers who want to improve the manage of their voices. The class starts with different vocalizations and breathing exercises to warm the body and start to understand how the voice works. Then we start to sing in order to apply the new concepts to different songs. The class its adaptable to every pupil, because everyone has their one vocal history, which means, they have different problem, which need differents aproaches.

Cheslava
Piano and Singing tutor with 5 years experience and professional education
From my childhood I have been studying music and art: sang in choir and solo, played piano, painted, studied music history and literature, solfeggio. Later in college I have also learned choir conducting, had ensemble and choir singing lessons, cultural studies. During last year in university I had pedagogy practice at university and at private art school (where I worked as a music tutor before the war - piano, voice). I truly enjoyed working with students. They all were different age (8 - 40+ years old) and level. But all were very interesting and work was pleasant. My education was very various: my core subjects were conducting, choir, voice, piano. So it allowed me to work with children, teens and adults with quite wide range of interests and needs: some students needed/wanted to learn particular composition(s), sometimes pop songs arrangements, some were interested in “introduction” to the music, some wanted to renew skills they gained in their childhood and continue their journey to the music world. In addition I prepared presentations (which contained information about cultural and historical background and musical and character/art analysis). So after graduation from choir conducting faculty (which allowed me to deepen my knowledge in many important compatible branches) I concentrated on studying classical singing and piano, expanded my cultural studies and analysis knowledge, practiced solfeggio and harmony.

Vocal lessons - Learn how to sing and how to use your voice in everyday life
You are using your voice everyday. Speaking all day at work, or with your friends at the party, sometimes getting your voice tired. This problem is common for the people, who speak with their vocal chords making their throat and neck muscles tight. The right way of using your voice and your vocal chords is going to make your life so much easier even if you don't sing. The singing requires many skills from using your resonators and vocal chords, to a correct breathing using diaphragm. In this course I'm going to teach all levels how to use your voice not only for singing, but also to make your everyday life better and easier.

Karolina
Singing lessons in Copenhagen. Discover your voice with a vocal teacher/mezzo soprano Karolina.
Hello, everyone! My name is Karolina, and I'm a vocal teacher and a professional opera singer. Since childhood, classical art has been my inspiration, and my musical journey began at the age of 7 in piano class. After completing my Opera Master Singing Studies in Lithuania, I further honed my singing skills at the prestigious Mozarteum University in Austria. Through personal and pedagogical training, I delved into "healthy singing" – the Italian technique known as "Inhalare la voce." I apply this technique to beginners and advanced singers alike, spanning not only classical pieces but also popular songs and ballads. Whether you're a beginner or someone with prior singing experience, I'm always delighted to offer my assistance and share my knowledge. Singing lessons encompass a range of elements: Warm-ups, voice training, exercises, breath control, singing techniques, sound attack, song study, interpretation, pronunciation, musical expression, and repertoire. Each individual is unique, and your personal goals and love for musical art take precedence. I eagerly await the opportunity to work with you! Best regards, Karolina
